Reason of occultation of the Imam from his followers
Source
Shaykh Muḥammad b. al-Ḥasan al-Ṭūsī
۞
If it is said: What is the fault of the devotee to whom the Imam has not appeared? Because such prediction can be made about him, and how can he reflect on the miracle that will come with the Imam and what can he do to compensate for the cause of occultation?
فإن قيل: أي تقصير وقع من الولي الذي لم يظهر له الإمام لأجل هذا المعلوم من حاله وأي قدرة له على النظر فيما يظهر له الإمام معه وإلى أي شي‏ء يرجع في تلافي ما يوجب غيبته؟
